should I do a coolant flush before COLD weather comes

i would atleast get one of those deals to check how the mix is. I dunno wtf they are called but they are basically a big dropper with little balls thats float depending on how your antifreeze/water mix is

 

its something anyone can do if they have common sense, 5 min and a tester

here is what a tester is/looks like and another one

 

u should change the anti freeze. c'mon soon ull have a procharger and old anti-freeze ;D

 

i was just messing with u. u dropped all kinds of cash on the car, and still old antifreeze ;D

 

what color does it look???if its still greenish its still good, if its brownish i say change it.most dealers change the coolant and oil before they sell a car.

 

oh it should still last u till u get the blower.when i got my car the coolant was darker than crap literally.

 

:lol:
that explains the slowness

 

your radiator needs to be flushed every 30K miles or once a year. If your coolant starts to look hunter green its time to change it. Its supposed to be neon green,

I would flush it. Just cause if you dont have the right ratio of water to anti freeze 50/50 it could cause problems.

 

thats what the antifreeze checker is for to make sure you have the right mixture of antifreeze/water. if it is not just drain a little and add to get it right.

 

What do you do? unscrew the drain plug let it drain for a tiny bit then close it up?

 

ya i just stuck a pan underneath the drain and let some out and added straight antifreeze (or water if you need more instead) and then i let it run for a little bit to mix properly and rechecked.

 

also alot of people dont know Coolant also lubercates the waterpump, if that lubercation goes bye bye, say cya to the waterpump
